A Russian drone strike hit the Kharkiv National Pharmaceutical University on Tuesday (September 16), setting the roof ablaze and injuring four people, mayor Ihor Terekhov said.
"I heard the sound (of the drone) right over my head. I was sitting at my computer, and my intuition told me to get up, I literally made two steps, and then the chandelier fell. There was an explosion, and the chandelier under which I had just sat fell down. That's what happened."
One woman was treated for psychological trauma after witnessing the drone strike, according to university staff.
Reuters was able to confirm the location of the video as Kharkiv from the buildings, the road layout and the trees, which matched satellite and street view imagery of the area.
The date when the video was recorded was verified from official statements and Reuters photography from the site of the incident on September 16.
So far this month, Russia has launched more than 3,500 drones of different types, nearly 190 missiles, and more than 2,500 aerial bombs, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Telegram on Tuesday.
